......I totally forgot about the debate when I initially scheduled it. I pulled it for a couple of hours. My apologies to all. I have become lazy as I've gotten older. I've let things slide. I already apologized for the lack of Music Notes last...
LGM film club
I stopped my LGM Film Club series when I took a break from the site in August. Been meaning to bring it back, but haven't. Here's a good excuse to.
I'm on a run of movies from the last five years or so, trying to catch up on the many I have missed. In fact, partly due to my love.

Next in our mini-fundraising series of films from 1956 is what I consider to be the second greatest film of that fine year in cinema history: The Burmese Harp, directed.
We had an offer to donate to LGM in last night's film club if I did more posts from 1956. Well....I can sure do that. Might as well do a mini-fundraiser, no pressure but if you all are offering, happy to serve your interests. So...
We haven't done an exciting industrial film in awhile, so let's take a gander at 1973's Wheat; From Field to Flour. I almost have to have seen this in elementary.
Hey, rookies report today to NFL training camps and it's time to start paying attention to football again! Yay! Here's Vince Lombardi speaking from the Redskins camp in 1969. And.
